wait, do you mean Obama or Ohm-bama?
because to pronounce the second one correctly you have to be sitting in the lotus position, and draw it out for ages, like “Ohhhhmmmmm-bama”.
I think it is the Presidents forehead and scalp with a giant branding of the “O” symbol at the top of his head…which burned away the hair…and…um…then it was tattooed. With color…..and..and..
It’s so much worse than I thought. So much. I was even thinking “goatse on scalp, I guess”…..that’s how un-hand-like those grey hands are. I thought they were hair…see the hairline below? See?
I’d like to try to think of a funny comment for you all, but I’m distracted by – well, all of the above, plus trying to figure out what it is about the symbol in the middle that’s supposed to represent American. Apart from the good ol’ Orange, White & Bluish, of course.
I don’t see what it IS. I think it is supposed to be representative of something, I just don’t know what. That is very frustrating. Since the title is goatse-related, I am assuming there are hands, but I don’t see them.
The best guess I have is it is a picture looking through a cave at a farm implement sign logo.
It’s supposed to be Obama’s campaign logo with hands holding it. In reality it’s just terrible, and ends up looking close enough to a goatse to go with it
You know how artists or pretentious directors will sometimes make a rectangular frame with their fingers and look through it to size up a scene? Well, imagine making a circle with your hands and looking through it at a medically gaped anus with a blue rainbow inside it.
I made the same mistake below.. Especially embarrassing as I have been reading regretsy in periodic archive binges, this week has been the first where I am actually up to date with posts.
I’m surprised as how often I don’t remember the “One Year Ago” items. Must be the totality of fuckery overwhelming me.
On the other hand, when the Shit Horse was re-posted, that reminded me that I wanted a cubicle-sized version for work and he was more than willing to make it postcard-sized.
The Finland one is incredible. But, whilst I fully support the choice of a pint of beer as our national symbol, from your flag choice I assume you mean ‘United Kingdom in his hands’, not just England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland haven’t escaped the union yet, no matter how hard Alex Salmond wishes. Mmm pedantry.
Indeed! But I did it on purpose to make a little flop/mistake there…since the Democratic-Republican symbol of the original painting was a bit of a flop.
As someone who worked as a volunteer for President Obama’s campaign when he was running for election, what we have here is a very badly drawn logo that the Democratic party was using at that time. The red and blue were intended to stand for Republican and Democratic states. However, the color extended all the way to the edge of the circle, so there was no white border. The white semi-circle in the center was much smaller. It was intended to express unity (feel free to snort-I did).
I don’t know if we’ve got an Obama supporter who’s trying to be serious, a non-supporter who’s trying to be ironic, or some idiot who’s seen Goatse too many times and think they’re being funny.
I’ve actually met President Obama in person twice, and trust me, his arms look nothing like that.
It wasn’t til I got down to the “Finland” post that I figured out what the fuck I was looking at. Obama holding his big “O” with 2 hands, one being exceptionally hairy?

I totally get this piece.
May 30, 2011 at 5:30 pm
And the anus/rainbow is a wonky version of the O for Obama from way back at the last election.
May 30, 2011 at 5:30 pm
The black shadowy things are hands? I guess I can see micro fingers there at the top, now that you say that!
May 31, 2011 at 9:09 pm
Someone told the artist that most black people aren’t really black they’re lighter.
May 30, 2011 at 5:36 pm
Thank you for that description. Now I can see it! I knew I was completely missing something!
May 30, 2011 at 6:51 pm
It looks like there is a running track inside the anus. It must be open quite regularly to justify putting in a running track.

I didn’t realize that those things around it was hands at first. I thought it was some weird oil puddle or something.

Was this done by the same person who painted the angry gray one-legged man screaming “F*** my boy p****!”?
It’s something about the gray hands …

Two thoughts –
1) I keep seeing the Bank of America logo. As most of their rules are pulled out of someone’s ass, this is very appropriate.
2) The diagonal stripes on the Union flag are wrong. The ones on the right should be white with the red part on the bottom.

Technically speaking, wouldn’t it be impossible to, uh, perform goatse, if your hands were melting together like the ones in the picture?

Yes. However, the mere fact that Goatse exists proves some people will try ANYTHING.
